Welcome to the World - Rayna Sophia Nerl!
On September 4th, 2021, baby sister joined us here on earth. My family and I are overjoyed to have welcomed my daughter Rayna Sophia Nerl. The little nugget weighed in at 8lbs 8oz and 19.6 inches. Check out my instagram @ronniekalra for tons of baby content!
It has been two joyous/exhausting weeks with her and we feel very blessed but let me tell you, life with two littles is no joke! Thank you to everyone who has already reached out!
September 11th
It was only two decades ago when life for the native New Yorker- as well as the Tri-State area local- changed forever. Most know exactly what happened on this day; between watching hours of footage, hearing recollection of horror stories, or even being connected to the lives that were lost. I was a freshman in high school and it was second period. At first we were told something happened to the twin towers, that there was an accident. Then later as we watched the second plane hit the second tower live on TV it was clear it was no accident. We were sent home early that day and I remember praying that my dad was still home and not in the city where he works in the garment district. We got lucky, he was home. On the 20th anniversary, a commemoration ceremony took place at Ground Zero. There is no way to forget the devastation that occurred, but I believe our city does a great job of honoring those lost. #neverforget
2021 Met Gala
The star-studded fundraising event to benefit The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC known as the Met Gala rolls around every year building traffic throughout the city and excitement amongst many. This year's ball was themed "American Independence". While some of the fashion was questionable, we love a good costume party and are so happy they are back!

Market Update
After just one week of going live with our newest listing at 214 Riverside Drive in Manhattann, we received multiple offers after a mere two Open Houses. This is a major indicator for the market's trajectory this Fall. September is off to a busy start. Buyers are still battling low inventory as a result of the surge in demand. Some Stats...

55% of the deals signed were asking under $1M
27 Contracts were signed last week at $4million and above. Despite a week that included Labor Day and the Jewish holiday, the luxury market topped the 2018 Labor Day-week record of 20 contracts signed!
Pending sales are hovering at about 1700 units- this is up 18.1% over July
Rental market activity in NYC has soared and pricing has rebounded notably.
